Planting the fertile soil of the "Three Navigation" and forging the cradle of the "Chief Engineer"
2025-10-30
After a long rain, the sun shines on the outdoor exhibition hall of the Military Industry Quality Education Practice Center at Northwestern Polytechnical University, casting a golden glow on the steel wings of each exhibit airplane. Quickly take a picture of me and 'Fat Girl'! ”In front of the physical prototype of the "Star" exhibit Y-20, visitors kept taking photos and clocking in. Yun-20 is the first large-scale multi-purpose transport aircraft independently developed by China, codenamed 'Kunpeng'. It can perform long-distance air transportation tasks of various materials and personnel under complex meteorological conditions. It is a strategic, iconic, and leading equipment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force, "said Yu Jinyang, a student guide and undergraduate student at the School of Electronic Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University. These planes have witnessed the glorious history and profound accumulation of Northwestern Polytechnical University in the military industry. The Military Industry Quality Education Practice Center is built according to the design concept of "showcasing the evolution history of the 'Three Aviation' technology through physical objects", to meet the needs of teaching experiments, practices, and national defense science popularization education in aviation, aerospace, and navigation disciplines of the school, support the cultivation of "chief engineer type" talents, popularize the knowledge of the 'Three Aviation' technology, and inherit and promote national defense and military industry culture. The Military Industry Quality Education Practice Center consists of an outdoor exhibition hall and an indoor exhibition hall. The outdoor exhibition area is the "Three Aviation" complete aircraft exhibition area, covering an area of about 40000 square meters, showcasing representative "Three Aviation" equipment, such as the "J-6A" interceptor, "H-6" medium range strategic bomber, "Chujiao-6" trainer aircraft, etc. Some of them are retired fighter jets that once soared in the sky and achieved great military achievements, while others are experimental models that embody the hard work of researchers and represent advanced technology. Not far away, the Dongfeng-2 missile stands tall in a flying posture. The Dongfeng-2 missile is the first independently developed ballistic missile in China, and also the first single-stage liquid engine ballistic missile in China, "said Shen Huiting, a student guide and graduate student at the School of Aerospace Science and Technology of Northwestern Polytechnical University. Behind the large national heavy weapons displayed here, there are many alumni and research teams from Northwestern Polytechnical University who have deeply participated and contributed. Climbing up the stairs, the reporter arrived at the "Chinese Aviation History" exhibition hall. Here, the three-dimensional exhibition system of "graphic and textual narration+physical verification" summarizes the development process of China's aviation industry from ancient flying dreams to modern industrial systems, covering core contents such as early Chinese aircraft design, the establishment of the People's Air Force, the development of aviation equipment, and the Chinese aircraft genealogy map. The total area of the indoor exhibition hall is about 13000 square meters, and the planned aviation hall, aerospace hall, navigation hall, engine hall, unmanned aerial vehicle hall, etc. are under construction. In order to make national defense science popularization more attractive, the Military Industry Quality Education Practice Center has also launched a series of activities called "Small Model Aircraft+Big Aviation" and "Soft Power+Hard Technology". Immersive learning experience projects such as model airplane performances, high-quality courses, and flight design workshops allow the public to burst into exploration enthusiasm through fun interactions and deeply perceive the "chief engineer education culture". It is reported that the Military Industry Quality Education Practice Center will be open to the public from 2024, and in the past two years, the number of summer visitors has exceeded 400000 each year. This is not only a museum, but also a vivid classroom that integrates teaching practice, popular science education, and cultural inheritance, "said Li Xiaocong, Director of the Preparatory Office for Museum Construction at Northwestern Polytechnical University. The Military Industry Quality Education Practice Center continuously conveys military industry culture and patriotic spirit to teachers and students. It is not only an important platform to assist in the cultivation of chief engineer talents in schools, but also a window for external exchanges and a battlefield for serving society. (New Society)
